Lots of interest in the marine heatwave that has developed in the Atlantic. Particularly high temperatures are seen west of Ireland, in the North Sea, and Bay of Biscay. We've had a look at the situation west of Ireland (1/9)

Congratulations Catherine Catherine Jordan, PhD 👩‍🎓👏👏

Great to see another Marine Institute Cullen Scholar defend their PhD viva. Well done Catherine Jordan, PhD

Incredibly beautiful shapes among the winter phytoplankton in my sample collected off Plymouth, UK; they are like jewels. These single 'solar' cells begin the marine food chain. Watch a dinoflagellate get eaten by a copepod. ZEISS Microscopy

🛰️NASA’s Plankton, Aerosol, Cloud, ocean Ecosystem (PACE) satellite launched into orbit on the 8th of February. It has hyperspectral sensors that will improve the discrimination of phytoplankton from space. Scientists are ready to dive into the data: How PACE measurements of

Delighted to be taking part in Copernicus EU FRM4SOC training on above water radiometry. Most excited about NASA HyperCP community processor and how we can apply our Marine Institute Celtic Explorer hyperspectral data to this. Looking forward to joining in person in Venice soon☀️

Field trip to the AAOT tower off the coast of Venice to collect hyperspectral data for the FRM4SOC Copernicus EU training 🛰️🌊🛥️

Incredible training course so far in Venice, Italy on above water radiometry, associated uncertainties and processing methods FRM4SOC Copernicus EU EUMETSAT NASA Marine Institute

Delighted to have graduated with my Marine Institute Cullen Fellowship PhD from the Ollscoil na Gaillimhe | University of Galway yesterday.
